mathbbRn admits a tessellation by permutohedra. The corresponding identification of facets of a permutohedron therefore gives a well-defined space: call it Xn. For example, X2, the hexagon with opposite sides identified, can be shown to be a 2-torus (see figure 2 in http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0703326v2). Is Xncong(S1)n? Why (or why not)?
